Enter the Matrix
Review by markus naslund
"A bit rushed but still great"
The game is very good with lots of action and great for playing amoungst friends. It links with the movie and even though there are a few glitches, it still is a very good game. There are two characters to choose from, Ghost and Niomi, both of which are basically the same in every way. Getting into this game will be very easy, but getting out of it will be extremely hard. A very nice game.
Gameplay 9/10- This game has three exciting terms of difficulty to play on; Easy, Normal and Hard. All of whihc are pretty hard without using cheats. To me, this game was pretty hard the first time that I played it in Normal actually trying to complete the objectives that you were supposed to do. It is also very enjoyable and exciting. Great action in Enter The Matrix and also if it seems too easy, then try going in a different difficulty.
Story 8/10- The objective of this game is to get Neo to join you. After you have done so, you can input the cheat into the game and then play it again on a harder level. You can also get other people such as Morpheus. Along the way, many enemies and missions interface you. This game has great cutscenes and tons of action making it even more exciting for you. It may not be the greatest story but it is ok compared to other games. Along the way, you get to fight aganist so many neat things like shooting down helicopters.
Graphics/Sound 8.5/10- This game has pretty good graphics with a few minor flaws but overall pretty good. The sound is loud and also very cool in the way that there is a sound for every punch, kick and shot that there is in the game. It incorperates so many new sounds and great graphics that I have never seen before. There are a couple of errors that you could spot out but no game is perfect in every way, there is always someone who disagrees with the game.
Play Time/Replayability 7/10- Since there are two characters, the game would probably take around 12 hours to complete for each character, so about a day in total. I would say that the game is totally worth playing again once you have beaten it since you can play with new characters and new unlocked things. Once you have this game, you will not be able to get off of it until you have beaten it again and again.
Interesting Facts- The game has so many cool things like focus, which is just like doing the matrix. Kicking and punching through glass, Shooting during focus and lots more stuff that I cannot begin to tell you because it would give away part of the storyline.
In conclusion, if you had a choice to buy or rent it, I would say that you could not go wrong either way since you could probably beat the game with one of the characters before you would need to return it but it is also worth buying to beat it with all of the characters and playing it in a greater difficulty. If you had a friend who had a birthday coming up, I would say that you should get it for him because of the great action involved in it. Overall, a great game and it deserves at least an 8/10, which I gave it. It could probably be worht more if it wasn't rushed through to try and get it done in time to come out when the movie came out.The game is very good with lots of action and great for playing amoungst friends.
